Gutted. Was to football commentary what Murray Walker was to Formula One commentary. The voice of football as far as I am concerned. Rest in peace, and thank you.

Breaking on Twitter.

Don’t know if confirmed yet?



How terribly sad.

This is awful news, going to hope it's fake until confirmed on BBC website.

Legend. One of the most influential broadcasters of his generation.

His dad was the Southwick Methodist Church minister. And he was a wonderful presence in football.
Remember when we were promoted he talked about his Dad being a Seagulls fan.

His brother was the Southwick Methodist Church minister, I seem to remember. And he was a wonderful presence in football.
I saw Motty storm a gig at...





...The Rustington Methodist Hall.

A great evening but the highlight was the host saying, in closing:-

'Great to see so many new faces here for tonight's talk.
I hope you'll all be back next week for John Smith's evening entitled "The lighter side of Nazi occupied Guernsey" '.

Surely not. He is a regular guest on Talksport giving insightful views on the premier league games.

Yes, I'm not sure that this isn't a mistake. It's trending on Twitter, but the Kevin Campbell tweet seems to be the only source.
